The state of Orissa tucked away in the eastern corners of India is known mainly for its tribes, temples, and culture. But one more aspect of its tourism products, beaches are often missed out. It is not very far from the truth saying that Orissa has got the most peaceful and verdant beaches in India far from the meddling crowd one finds on other beaches in India. Orissa is obviously home to some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in India including now famous Gopalpur-on-Sea, Puri, and Chandipur. Many leading hotel chains and resort companies have built over the years commendable infrastructure and accommodation facilities to lure the tourists away from the burgeoning beaches in Goa and Kerala. Beach resorts in Orissa are built keeping in mind the local cultural values and traditional aspects giving the tourists apart from luxurious living a peep into the local culture of the place.

Beach Resorts in Puri

Looking forward for an amazingly wonderful holiday? Welcome to the beach of Puri. The pious land of Puri is probably one of the finest beaches in India on the coastline of Orissa. Situated on the shores of the breathtakingly beautiful Bay of Bengal.

Though the pulsating beach of Puri attracts thousands of tourists throughout the year the best time to check out the beautiful beach at the pious Puri is early November when you may participate in the annual Puri Beach Festival. The combination of the crafts, cuisines and cultural of Orissa will not fail to charm you. The catamarans the cane hats will get embossed in your mind.

Gopalpur - on - Sea

Your quest for a gorgeous holiday ends here! Welcome to the Gopalpur-On-Sea Beach of Orissa. The seven-kilometer long beach is breathtakingly beautiful and lies along with the Bay of Bengal. The seaport of the yesteryears today happens to be amongst the most pristine and the unpolluted beaches in India. The small fishing village is thronged by thousands of tourists every year. The Gopalpur-On-Sea beach derives its name from the Hindu God ‘Gopal’, one of the many names of Lord Krishna.
